In the past I've even found keys to filing cabinets marked confidential, underneath!!!

"none so blind as those who will not see" (John Heywood 1546)

Don't drink water, that stuff rusts pipes!


You are making Proof out of Logic, by just being dubious! {Bluestar to me)

In our company we have strict policies urging to change passwords regularly and using a bit complex passwords - so for shared computers the actual passwords are noted on a sticky note slip on the backside of the keyboard :-/

It was quite common at one time (maybe it still is!) to lift up a keyboard at random and find a piece of paper with the user's password(s) written on it.

Yup thats still pretty much standard in most offices, and I might say quite helpful as well. When you're a computer support guy sorting out PC problems and the guy who's reported it is inconveniently away, it helps you get on with it!

p.s. the other favourite is under the mouse mat!

I don't think people realize how easy a hacker could 'guess' their passwords. Are you Keeping secrets from web spies?

I know someone whose password is his wife's name. Others use their pet's name or month of their birthday. Find out the name of someone's partner, favorite color, birthday or children's or pets name and you're probably almost into all of their accounts.

I have two passwords which I use for my most secure accounts, both totally gobbeldy gook and absolutely meaningless and unguessable. It took me a while to remember them, but amazingly, like a telephone number, you do.

Anyone else think that they have a 'safe' password?
